With all my penchant for accuracy with my future Lexington project, you would think that I would equally apply this everywhere. Well, I didn't. I freely admit to deliberatly and with fore knowledge add railings to my Nimitz island. It states specifically in the directions that this did not occur until the 80's. With F-4 Phantoms on board too. I just couldn't resist putting them on, they just look so right, and I am going to keep the Phantoms rather than replace them wiith Tomcats to correct it. I am ready to take the castigations from my peers

My ships are for me, not competition. And Rui they do use magnifying lenses (if they can get away with it). I don't transport them even to the scout meetings to show the kids

I would have taken it to Buck-Buck (he took over after you left). He was my sponsor and then ended up as commandant the whole 4 years I was there. Oh and Irby was a friend of my father....talk about always under the magnifying glass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
